#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
3 (7)	Never Shout Never Bay J:Jamie Powell(3) T:Stephen Thorne	J:Jamie Powell(3) T:Stephen Thorne	130	t	07221-	75	91	75	63d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-3	34	0.34/1	11/8 42%
C&D winner latest; likely to go close again with the stable in terrific form at this venue
4 (3)	Sporting Hero Bay J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	J:J M Sheridan T:Denis Gerard Hogan	130	b	1312-7	75	87	77	9d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-6	11.3	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Ordinary effort over this trip last week and probably a shade more effective over 6f
1 (4)	Dontspoilasale Bay J:Adam Caffrey(3) T:Adrian McGuinness	J:Adam Caffrey(3) T:Adrian McGuinness	140	—	1283-6	85	90	72	21d	—	—	-2	13.2	1.25/1	5/1 17%
6f winner here; might just need a little more leeway from the handicapper though
6 (2)	Li Ban Bay J:Wayne Lordan T:Adrian Murray	J:Wayne Lordan T:Adrian Murray	128	—	32500-	87	92	76	109d	—	—	+3	14.7	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Debuts for Adrian Murray and the drop back to five may not be ideal
2 (1)	Jered Maddox Bay J:Luke McAteer T:David Marnane	J:Luke McAteer T:David Marnane	130	—	71083-	75	89	66	56d	1W/1P 1 run	1W/1P 1 run	+4	15.6	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Nine-time winner on this surface, including over this trip; can go well after a break
7 (6)	Crystal Luna Bay J:Killian Leonard T:Daniel James Murphy	J:Killian Leonard T:Daniel James Murphy	122	b	5821-6	67	91	82	21d	—	—	0	6	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Poor run over 6f here latest (in season); back over 5f will probably help here though
NR (5)	Mint Man Bay J:Chris Hayes T:P J F Murphy	J:Chris Hayes T:P J F Murphy	129	t	631-22	74	95	80	9d	—	0W/0P 1 run	—	6	—	—
C&D winner; probably equally effective over 5f and 6f and one for the shortlist here
